230 Project - Week 7

We went to the new hibachi/sushi restaurant two minutesfrom our house! I freaking looooooove sushi (it's a problem)and Barry loves the hibachi grill. Good for our tummies,bad for our wallet lol.

This photo is of my glass of plum wine. They didn't servemy preferred brand (that makes me sound so fancy! lol)but this one was still pretty good.

I really like taking photos of drinks. I haven't figuredout the fascination but I really enjoy it.

Day 44:

I've started couponing! It is a great outlet for my organizingaddiction. :) This trip was an okay success. I can't quite remember allthe details and I can't seem to find the receipt but it came out toaround $65.00, I paid $32.00 and I received a $6 couponoff of my next purchase so really I paid $26.00. Not too shabby!

I do remember that the big deal was on the dove soap. Walgreenshad it on sale 3/$18 then there was a $4 coupon on one soapthat you used 3 of so it came down to $6 total but it camewith the $6 next purchase coupon so it was free!

Day 45:

My pets are my children. No one can tell me that having petsisn't like having children. I refuse to believe it.

If you have to pick up vomit and diarrhea - you either havepets or you have children.

If you spend more money on their food than on your food -you either have pets or you have children.

If you have trouble planning adult vacations because youcan't find a babysitter - you either have pets or you have children.

And these are only a FEW of the similarities. :)

Day 46:

We had a birthday party to go to on Saturday so we wentto Walmart (hurl) to pick up a doll for the little girl andwhile we were there we saw t h i s. I could go into a tangenton how weird/stupid/speechless-inducing this is but I don'tthink I have to.

Day 47:

I didn't get any photos of me at the birthday pool partybut this is a really cool little bit of history left over from WWII.

We were in Hitchcock, TX for the party and the house we were atsat across the street from these massive towers. Apparentlythere was an Aviation Base in Hitchcock during WWII. The houseactually sat on the land of the hospital that treated thesoldiers at the base. A historical society came in a coupleof years ago and dug up their front yard looking for artifactsand they found a TON of stuff. Pretty interesting!

At this Aviation Base they had blimps that would patrolthe Gulf of Mexico, looking for U-boats and escortingships around the Gulf. These four towers are the pillarsof the hangar where the blimp was held.

I'm going to do a little more research on this site to doa post on blogger and then I will link it up here.

Day 48:

This is the traffic that we would have been caught in,had we not had the handy dandy gps map on theiPhone that allowed me and Barry to navigate the backroads of League City. :)

We don't really use the gps navigation feature sincethe program sucks as far as picking routes but Iactually love reading maps so I just find out wherewe are on the map and then I choose the routewe take. It's kind of fun. :)

Day 49:

Ha!

I was dusting when I suddenly noticed the similaritiesbetween Scarlette Le-Poof and my swiffer dusters.

I love seeing photographs of beverages! They make me thirsty for a fruity drink, some fresh grilling, and board games. Mmmmmmmm happiness. If I lived in HTown... Where can you find plum wine?? What brand do you like?

Question: I do not understand the barbie. What is it? What do you hate about it?

Welcome!

Hello! I'm Maria! So a lot has happened since I started this blog. I went from being self employed in the fields of knitting and film making to being the mama to three crazy little heathens. All in less than two years.
